Hi forum:

1. Avrdude Stk500_recv() Programmer Is Not Responding
2. Avrdude: Stk500_recv(): Programmer Is Not Responding Error

I would like to share with you a problem I am having. I am using the Arduino Nano v3.0, ATMega328P. I have just written my program and the program was fine. But when it was uploading it gave this message:

Arduino: 1.8.8 (Mac OS X), Board: “Arduino Nano, ATmega328P”

Sketch uses 1810 bytes (5%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 184 bytes (8%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1864 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Avrdude.exe: stk500recv: programmer is not responding avrdude.exe: stk500getsync attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x55. But the same argument works fine if used with Uno rev3. What change I need to do to command line argument in case it is not correct? I am not sure if something wrong with -carduino option!!

avrdude done. Thank you.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File → Preferences.

As the error message says, I am using MacOS Mojave, version 10.14.2. My Arduino IDE version is 1.8.8 and I just downloaded it yesterday because my old one isn’t working.

Every time I upload to this board, there is a problem. The exact same one. Note that that isn’t true for my Arduino Uno.

Also, when I try to load board information, Nano says “Unknown board” while Uno says “Arduino/Genuino Uno”. All these information is attached. My verbose output is “upload”. Do I need to use compilation? Again, the screenshot is also attached.
